FAQPage Schema

How do I attach an eBPF program to an XDP hook in Go?▼

To attach an eBPF program to an XDP hook in Go, you can generate code using the cilium/ebpf library to manage links and handle cleanup. This allows you to filter or redirect network traffic at the earliest possible point on your interface.

What kernel hooks are supported for eBPF program attachment in CNF environments?▼

Supported kernel hooks for eBPF program attachment in CNF environments include XDP, TC/tcx, netkit, kprobe, tracepoint, and cgroup. This enables diverse network traffic manipulation, system tracing, and policy enforcement.

How does eBPF link management handle cleanup when attaching to kernel hooks?▼

eBPF link management ensures robust error handling and graceful cleanup when attaching programs to kernel hooks. The generated Go code uses the cilium/ebpf library to manage links efficiently and prevent resource leaks during deployment.

Can I use cilium/ebpf to attach programs to tracepoints and kprobes for system tracing?▼

Yes, you can use the cilium/ebpf library to attach eBPF programs to kprobes and tracepoints. This facilitates system tracing and policy enforcement within Cloud-Native Network Function environments.

What is the best way to enforce network policy using eBPF in a CNF?▼

The best way to enforce network policy in a CNF is by attaching eBPF programs to cgroup or TC/tcx hooks. This method manipulates network traffic directly within the kernel, ensuring efficient and robust policy enforcement.

Why should I use Go and cilium/ebpf for attaching eBPF programs to kernel hooks?▼

Using Go with the cilium/ebpf library provides robust error handling, graceful cleanup, and efficient link management for eBPF kernel hook attachment. It simplifies complex deployments for network observability and traffic control.
